I live in a hickory forest on a north facing slope. The mushrooms are my favorite part of my backyard. The Chanterelles are still a few weeks away....but they are my favorite. The best part about them is that they always appear in generally the same location, so I don't have to hunt them, I just go gather them. They're relatively slow growing so I try to wait until they ruffle. The younger ones with the button tops are easier to clean, but I just give them a dry brush with a soft bristled bamboo toothbrush, and once you add a little pepper you can just pretend any dirt specs are pepper...lol.
The last tip was the best tip. Im an avid angler, so being outdoors is what I love. Everywhere I fished i'd see mushrooms, so i started taking pictures, then started educating myself on the edibles. Thank you.
I always seem to find mushrooms when I'm looking for ginseng and ginseng when I'm looking for mushrooms....so, I've learned to just enjoy the forest and find what I find.
@@sarahbrown5073similar experiences for me lol go looking for one thing and find another go looking for that and find what I was initially looking for so yes moral of the story just enjoy the fresh air and nature time!
Hi Adam🌎☀️💙…it really does take determination and a will to find these little guys. I have determined they are the introverts of nature…they are all hiding…but that is what I love about mushrooming. Every time I find one my body gets an over all excitement 🌎☀️💙
When I’m struggling to find a specific mushroom I just get to the woods and open my eyes REALLY BIG. If that doesn’t work I’ll ask a squirrel or a chickadee for directions. Works more often than not haha. Thank you Adam. Appreciate you doing this man!
My favorite way to not look for mushrooms is trail running and hiking. I need to go easy enough that I am taking in my surroundings thoroughly, but I still cover a lot of ground and see a lot.
Those are nice tips. Tip 5 is a great one that reminds us all there's a lot going on out there, not just mushrooms. Under the "microclimate" tip, I go to Fog. That's anywhere that collects moist air, especially at night. That can be fallen logs covered in ferns, the areas deep in a stream holler, logs hanging out over a riverbank, and along a coastline. I also use my own Tip #6: Learn to enjoy the beauty of crust fungus and brackets. They are always around! That includes the little Splitgill mushroom (Schizophyllum commune) that is often still good to harvest and cook, even when it's bone dry!
@@nickparker5200 It's great. I slow roast several cups of them in a casserole dish in the oven with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, for a few hours. Then I add BBQ sauce for another hour. It's like pulled pork, Really, really good. Here in the Pacific Northwest, I like to pair that with another wintertime favorite, grilled or sauteed Floccularia albolanaripes, because they taste like sweet corn. Then you have a summer BBQ dinner in the middle of winter!
Thanks for sharing the precipitation webtool. I've been watching weather reports for an area in Colorado where my cousin and I will be camping next week. I didn't realize I could get the actual precipitation levels from the national weather service, lol. 2 years ago we found some Hawks Wing (Sarcodon imbricatus) but didn't know what it was at the time. Now we both know a lot more about the various mushrooms found in the Rockies and want to check the same area again. Happy foraging ✌️
Love your content! I have property in south central Pa. and everything you show looks just like my property! Stream and all. I may have to hire you soon to help me survey what’s really there. Thank you for years of education!
My sister moved to North Carolina and at some point we're going to walk the property to see what's growing in them woods. She's got a nice sized little chunk of land that's mostly straight up forest, but it's all on this wicked angle so the house and small yard/garden are on a flat spot and the driveway is pretty darn steep. Exploring that is going to be interesting and I look forward to the adventure. Going to be looking for mushrooms and identifying trees and hunting invasive plants to rip out. Would love to turn that into a native food forest.
I've recently become fascinated by mushrooms which is how I found your videos. I learn so much from you. I never thought about north vs south facing slopes and the different conditions they endure. Seems like a duh moment now but very useful to know.
Adam I think you’re absolutely brilliant. I’ve learned so much from you! I own 25 acres of forest and fields in Southwestern PA near Ohiopyle State Park. You’re welcome to visit anytime! Let’s take a walk around the woods.
I like tip number 5. I spend a lot of time in the woods because my town is surrounded be woodlands and though I pick a lot of mushrooms, I don't want to limit my hikes to single purpose activities. The trees themselves are equally attractive me and the rocks and the flora and the surprise moments.
We've been doing a lot of foraging around Derry, PA. We found a few spots that stay nice and damp and shady almost all the time. It's a true wonderland for mushrooms. Thank you for the videos.
My favorite way to “not” look for mushrooms is trail running. I always spot the coolest fungi on my long runs! I’ll start paying better attention to what direction the slope I’m on is facing. Great tip!
Thanks Adam, good info! The one general rule I have found is that when I fail to bring things to transport mushrooms, that is when I find them in quantities. Ha ha! I once returned home with Paw Paws, Chicken of the Woods, and two Giant Puff Balls all from one area of woods. So, it does pay to prepare accordingly.
We are in a moderate drought right now with short and long term issues here in the mid Atlantic. We are starting to get rain. We have been finding and ID some things.
Just last week I was at the Michigan welcome center there was a short path through the wood I just walked around it to stretch my legs when I spotted chicken of the woods.
Thanks Adam. I've been a mushroom enthusiast for about 8 yrs and much of my meager knowledge comes from watching your videos (sometimes over and over). I appreciate your knowledge and am thankful that you share your knowledge. You lost me for a couple years with your Pay-to-Learn approach. I hope that is fruitful for you but i appreciate this video.
A really useful video. I've found a lot of new, good areas where I can be rather sure to find edible mushrooms just by researching new hikes and trails to walk with my dogs. And going off the trail looking in likely areas while we're out there.
Very timely! I was so disappointed to find a completely dried out chicken of the woods, but so it goes. Seems like things dry out fast in this weather!
I went for a quick drive last night after work. I found 1 good reishi on a downed hemlock. I also found a nice flush of ginseng... That spot already has an X on my map of gems. Its pretty dry where I'm at.
Thank you for another wonderful presentation! I particularly love your idea of stop looking for mushrooms for a while! I have 3 acres along the Northern Cacapon River in West Virginia, and don't find any mushrooms here, and am looking for a way to "plant" mushrooms here. Thank you again for your sharing so much information and wisdom.
One tip I learned awhile back was look UP as well as downward.....I have found nice lion's mane I ordinarily would have never seen with my eyes glued to the forest floor.
another sexy video with information too! can you do a video showing how you wash different mushrooms before consuming? some I heard you have to soak in salt water
Hi Adam I'm wondering if you have ever found the Gomphus clavatus? I don't really know what English people really call them. But I found some today, and them seemed so delicious and beautiful color. If turns darker when you boil them. They said to boil them and change water bc it's kinda rare finding them. I don't know why but the first time I saw them, I was wondering wow they look so pretty and kinda yummy. Ofc I took 1 sample and researched like crazy and I was so happy it was edible and went back to collect more and try. I haven't eaten it yet, bc it's almost midnight.
Question for you. I got a skin burn on my foot on top of arch through my sock. I walked into a weeded spot on edge of my yard near a river. At first I saw spots of bleeding and burning. Then blistering, then a dark spot a little bigger than a quarter. Any idea what can do this?
Your signs and symptoms are quite varied, and it wasn’t clear as to whether this was a progression of the same spot or different areas of the skin. However, my thought was perhaps a blister beetle. Or, perhaps something bit you and you didn’t realize it and only saw the outcome.
I would love a video on a severring berry.... (spelling) they look like a blue berry but red.... Ive only seen one as a boy.... I have no idea if they still exist or if I was told a wrong name or what
@@oldmanpatriot1490 In my limited experience they like higher altitudes .... maybe cold winters. They were in western Montana and northern Alberta They grew wild in both places None in Missouri or Tennessee that I saw producing. I've seen similar plants in both places but no blooms or berries. In Canada they call them Saskatoon berries
@marcelluche1851 Sir: lobster mushrooms are a complex symbiotic organism that taste of seafood and is lobster red. I only saw the title frame and asked the question. There are many varieties of lobster mushroom because there are several different species of mushrooms which have several different species of fungus that can grow upon the surface of the different mushrooms. It is more so a strategy i think, than a family. Some lobster mushrooms are yummy and some are fatal. I have seen them in the wild but because they are so diverse there is only a little information and mostly thru reginal surveys by botanist or nature protectors.

I found the first Chantrels of the season two days ago.
I still haven't tried them. But they are beautiful.

You're right about not looking. I find mushrooms and other wild trail side snacks all the time while playing disc golf and other outdoor activities.

Haha "don't look for mushrooms". That's a surprisingly really good tip. Just get out and wander around works well.
One tip I learned awhile back was look UP as well as downward.....I have found nice lion's mane I ordinarily would have never seen with my eyes glued to the forest floor.
I started finding them dog walking. A great way to thicken out the activity
I love the cut brotha❤
Always great vids, thanks, was wondering how the wildfires up north effect mushrooms here in northeast?
All of my coolest mushroom finds happened when I was NOT hunting mushrooms. It's as if they know and just want to mess with me, haha!
another sexy video with information too!
can you do a video showing how you wash different mushrooms before consuming?
some I heard you have to soak in salt water
We have chanterelles & several other varieties of mushrooms in our area here in Missouri, we are seeing fewer mushrooms due to the dry weather.

"Don't look for them."
I found a nice chanterelle stash when I. had STOPPED looking for mushrooms. Sometimes that happens

You use the phrase "choice edible mushroom" often, but I cannot find a definition. Is there a definition?
Can you find mush rooms near or in wetlands or swamp?? Muggy? Miskito places? I’m feeling a yes? Does any one know?

Are the mushrooms in the title screen lobster mushrooms?
@marcelluche1851 Sir: lobster mushrooms are a complex symbiotic organism that taste of seafood and is lobster red. I only saw the title frame and asked the question. There are many varieties of lobster mushroom because there are several different species of mushrooms which have several different species of fungus that can grow upon the surface of the different mushrooms.

Can’t find edible mushrooms? Expand your choices by learning more kinds to forage.
